Tech Tip: Convert PDF's to Word


Ever have a PDF file and wish to convert it to MS Word and edit. There are commercial programs available that will do the conversion, but if your not a computer geek, you may not have one of these programs on your system. There is a free online alternative available called PDF UNdo Online. As you may tell from some of my tech tips, there are more and more free web based application to make computing easier. We should be taking advantage of these free online programs instead of purchasing expensive programs for our computers.

To operate you browse your computer for the PDF file you wish to convert, click to upload it, click to convert, and then click to download the converted file back to your machine. You can then open in Word and edit.

Word of caution, these programs typically work well with files that do not have a lot of advanced formatting. If it is a complicated page, the conversion will work, but it may not look the same. In any event, it is free, and a very useful tool if you have PDF files which you wish to open and edit.
